I trust BIOS readings more than Windows software programs. You didn't list any temps or any specs, so it would be difficult to answer your question rgarding the need for a fan.

It probably means speed step or cool'n'quiet is kicking in when in windows rather than full clock speed when in bios.

Download cpu-z and check what speed it is running at.

Check the overclocking forum for the cpu temp guide by computronix as that will explain what was being referred to in reference to the case.
